Wow, this is a fantastic blog I just found by accident. I have a thread on Bibliophilia called “Arabic sayings”, and I look for things in both Arabic and English translation to post — none of the other members of the site are Arab, so they can’t read the Arabic anyway, but it’s my way of telling them a little about Arab culture.

You’re very welcome to join! If you don’t feel like joining, maybe you could just check my translations for me …? I won’t change the translations I took from other people (though I changed some punctuation in yours), but many of those translations are mine. Unfortunately, I have no one to ask if they are ok, though I was very unsure of myself with some of them.

Hope you’re interested in taking a peek!

P.S. I didn’t know what name to put for you to credit you for these translations!
